A/HRC/41/29 2030 Agenda, linking it to universal periodic review recommendations, allows the United Nations to assist States in achieving concrete results both in terms of human rights progress and development targets. 50. The conclusions above were also highlighted by participants at the high-level panel on human rights mainstreaming, held on 26 February 2018 during the thirty-seventh session of the Human Rights Council, which focused on the challenges and opportunities resulting from the universal periodic review. The issues for discussion included the importance of universal periodic review recommendations, which can serve as a key entry point for cooperation with and action by Governments, the United Nations system and the international community at large, including donors; contributing to international cooperation through the sharing of best practices; the critical role of coordination mechanisms in reporting and follow-up; strengthening coordination at the United Nationslevel through the mainstreaming of human rights into United Nations country team and individual programmes, and the planning and programming of agencies; and strengthening South-South and North-South cooperation and international donor coordination. 51. The panel highlighted that universal periodic review recommendations could be an entry point for cooperation with and action by Governments, the United Nations system and the wider international community, including donors. Common themes in statements and interventions included the importance of the implementation of universal periodic review recommendations, and the potential for better and more focused use of human rights recommendations in system-wide action across the United Nations in support of prevention and the 2030 Agenda. 52. Another source of guidance in carrying out the work of the Fund should be the outcome of the intersessional meeting of the Human Rights Council on dialogue and cooperation on human rights and the 2030 Agenda, held on 16 January 2019 pursuant to its resolution 37/24. At the meeting, the Council examined numerous aspects of the relationship between the Sustainable Development Goals and human rights. One of the main conclusions was that implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals should increasingly be integrated into the universal periodic review. Member States and other stakeholders had to make better use of the universal periodic review outcomes and reports of the treaty bodies and the special procedures to guide Sustainable Development Goal implementation planning, follow-up and reporting, including in the preparation and consideration of voluntary national reviews of the high-level political forum on sustainable development. Participants stressed that it was important that States and other stakeholders continued to share experience and good practices in integrating and aligning the implementation of human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals at the national and international levels. 53. From the third cycle onwards, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights advises Foreign Ministers of countries through a letter sent following the adoption of the universal periodic review third cycle outcome, flagging areas that need particular attention over the four-and-a-half years until the State’s next review, and offering support from OHCHR or the United Nations system under the leadership of the respective United Nations resident coordinator. 54. In particular, OHCHR encourages resident coordinators and United Nations country teams to ensure that clustered recommendations of the human rights mechanisms are integrated into the United Nations Development Assistance Framework signed at the country level and become part of the Sustainable Development Goal implementation efforts. Indeed, the new United Nations Development Assistance Framework Guidelines acknowledge that recommendations of human rights mechanisms are essential for the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals. Accepted universal periodic review recommendations are an important entry point that is increasingly recognized by OHCHR and the rest of the United Nations system. 55. United Nations agencies and programmes are also encouraged to reflect, as a minimum, accepted universal periodic review recommendations that fall within their mandate in their own entity’s planning and programming in-country. Doing so systematically would mobilize the United Nations system in order to support Member 12
